Version Control

Version control, also known as revision control or source control, is the management of changes to documents, computer programs, large web sites, and other collections of information. Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number," "revision level," or simply "revision." Version control systems (VCS) most commonly run as stand-alone applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software such as word processors and spreadsheets, and in various content management systems. Revision control allows for the ability to revert a document to a previous revision. Git, a widely-used VCS, has its own topic; other popular systems include CVS, Subversion, Team Foundation Server (TFS), Visual SourceSafe (VSS) and Perforce.

Hi,
I have seen two repo management tools that uses git.
One is phabricator and other is github
whats the difference between the two and what are the pros and cons of each
Which one to use when ?
Does one has some specific benefits over the other ?
Thanks

We currently host Git on our sandbox server where we (2, sometimes 3 people if we hire a temp contractor) collaborate on the code for our website. I'm new in this position of backend web dev, inheriting the position from our long time backend dev who moved on. I *was* the head IT guy but now I'm trying to figure all this out as part of my new job.

Is there a benefit to using GitHub as opposed to just having Git installed on our sandbox server?

I have a bit of a different type of question. I'm trying to find a graphic or come up with a graphic that represents the benefits of version control.

Initially, I was just thinking of putting a company logo and version control logo and then a cloud platform logo on a page with connectors, but that doesn't really capture the benefits of version control.

When I think of benefits, I think of speed, backup, recovery, ease of deployment, etc.

So, I was trying to find a graphical representation of those types of benefits when using version. I thought someone on here might know of a graphic that already exists or might throw out some suggestions.

I used mercurial hg workbench before and was quite comfortable with it. I usually created new feature/bug/ticket branch from the main branch to work on something. and if there were any updates to the main branch, I would pull the changes and merge the master branch into my local branch, to resolve any conflicts locally.

I imagine I can do similar in git using sourcetree. I am new to git and still reading about all the terminology around it, fetch, rebase, stash and so forth.

How would one usually achieve this in a team environment while using git.

say I'm working on a feature branch, and there is update to master branch, the one you know which will have lot of conflicts. so my idea is to do a pull on to my master branch. then merge that master branch into my local and resolve the conflicts locally .

how would i achieve this in git. do i do a pull, or fetch?
if i have uncomitted changes, do i stash my changes?

How do you find an ip address in one of many config files in a github enterprise repository? I've tried with quotes, without and I get all kinds of whacky variants but not the file with the IP address I want.

Hi everybody.
For some reason I ignore, a avi file has been copied or inserted in my local git repository and renamed as it be an object. In Nautilus its icon shows the movie preview and if I double-click on it, I can watch the movie.
Now I can't commit my files so, once I have understood what happened, I have tried to delete it opening Nautilus as root or using sudo rm -i and the object name as it appears in Nautilus and in git error, but I get an error telling the file or the directory doesn't exist.

I can't just clone the repositories from BitBucket because it is not updated: I got this error some days ago but I had to go on with the work, so now I have a lot of changes not committed nor pushed.

I would like just to delete the movie from the repo but I don't know how to do it.

Someone can tell me what I have to do? btw, I'm new to Git and generally speaking not so confident with version control commands )

Hi experts,
I have a c# solution which i've always just saved onto my local harddrive. I'd like to get this into VSTS so I can 1) use git for version control and 2) use the vsts scrum board to track the project. How do I get this out of my harddrive and into VSTS? I'm using visual studio 2017

I'm using Bitbucket for version control we have multiple feature branches. I made a commit to my feature branch, which has not been merged to the master branch. I'd like to rollback/remove the commit that I made to my branch. How do I remove that commit? I don't want that commit that I made to be included in my next pull request to the master branch so I'd like to just remove it. How can I do that?

We have four .NET MVC applications which use a shared C# file located in each of the four solutions at:

AppName.Web.Models.SharedClasses

and I am adding a new C# class.

I have yet to configure the NuGet package so it can be deployed across each solution and currently am using copy/paste to get the same code tested in each solution.

What can you tell me about the NuGet process?

Would I:

1) create the final source code in the shared project?
2) generate a NuGet package for those shared source files?
3) upload it to some server?
4) Using Visual Studio, opened for each target solution, update the NuGet containing the shared files?

I'm working on an Access app with primitive version control. How can I use COM (or anything else) to tell Access 2016 to compact & repair after launching? I'm assuming the answer will be in C# or powershell, hopefully the latter, as I'm looking to integrate it into commit hooks.
